There was a great crowd out at the Charles
Street park yesterday afternoon to witness
the second game between the Ilourkc family
and the Pcorla Blackbirds , and after It was
all over they went away very much disap
pointed , for Omiilm had dumped another
game that should have been easy.
Big , hay-eating errors at critical periods
did the business , for the Rourkes otilbatlcd
their opponents and beat them on the bases
two to one , earning six runs to their two.
To show Just what hard luck Omaha Is In ,
It Is but necessary to state that after mak
ing fifty-two runs In the lust three games
they lost them all. In the last game at
Qulncy they made eighteen , Saturday twenty-
one and yesterday thirteen. However , it Is
probably taking too lenient a view of the
matter to call It hard luck , for Saturday's
nnd yesterday's games were of the kind that
Is overcrowding our asylums , and the quicker
the management tumbles to this fact the
better will be their chances for the pennant.
There are one or two players on Omaha's
pay roll who are Just so much dead wood ,
arm a continuance of putting them In to nil
up the team can only result In further and
more serious disaster.
While the game went the wrong way and
was bungllngly played at times , It was an ex
ceedingly exciting contest , nnd the great
throng of spectators were kept In a state of
high fever from beginning to end ,
It required ten Innings to settle It , but the
end came swift and hard when It did come ,
and the perspiring cranks let go of one
unanimous groan when the winning tally
came loping over the plate. The score stood
13 to 13 fatal number when Purvis faced
Colonel Lookabaugh In the last of the tenth.
Ho had only been to bat five times before
and each time had rapped the ball safe ,
once for four sacks , twice for two , nnd once
for a single. But Bob had no terrors for
Looky , and he again began to hand them In
nlco and low right over the plate , where
Purvis loves to get them. Bob made one
wild slash , then steadied himself and Look
abaugh gave him one In the right spot , and
Bob whanged out his third two sackcr.
A bad decision of the umpire gave him
third , and Dclchanty's beautiful drive against
the centcrflcld fence sent him home with the
winning tally.
Here Is the score :

CHICAGO , Aug. 12. Peter Jackson ar
rived from San Francisco yesterday mornIng -
Ing and left In the evening for New York ,
where he goes to learn from Corbett
whether the champion Is trying to fool him
out of a match.
"I will never fight In the south , " declared
Jackson. "I expressed myself upon the
point when I first came to the country , that
the contest should take place north of
Mason and Dlxon's line. My object Is solely
on account of the race prejudice which ex
ists there. "
"Do you think Corbett wants to avoid n
meeting with you ? "
"I won't go so far as that , " said he. "I
will say , however , that he delayed matters
right along. Now , I hear , he Is booked In
the show line up to next February. I have
been told over and over again that Corbett
has said he won't fight 'me until he gets
me where he wants me , and I suppose that
means when old age has laid , * Its hand
upon me. I know this , that before Corbett
went to England he raised objection to
every club that made n bid for the fight. "
"Suppose Corbettshould propose fighting
In private , what then ? "
"That will suit me , " responded Peter
eagerly. "All I want Is to be assured pro
tection nnd have a voice In the selection of
the referee , nnd I'd Just as llcve light In
private as In any other way. "

DENVER , Aug. 12. Denver will be en
fete all of this week , the entire state turnIng -
Ing Into Its capital city to make glorious
the welcome to the greatest wheelmen In
the country. The races for championship
honors promise to be a great battle be
tween the cracks. Every racing man of
note and prominence has been traveling
around the circuit , and when they reach
Denver they should be In the pink of condi
tion. At this meeting Sanger , Tyler , John
son and Ullss will be afforded an oppor
tunity of demonstrating who Is the speed
iest In competition. Up to date these riders
have beaten one another alternately , but
In the national championship events every
rider will do his utmost to secure the
coveted title of champion. The new third
of a mile track upon which the races will
be run Is completed , and , according to some
trials made , It Is very fast. It has long
turns and comparatively short stretches.
This makes It possible to attain great speed
on the turns without much banking. The
homo stretch Is fifty feet wide , the back
forty , and the turns thirty-five. The turns
are banked seven feet , the banking being
carried well Into the stretches until it
tapers to two feet at the tape and opposite
turn .of track , which Is the minimum degree
of breaking. The stretches are nearly 300
feet In length. The grand stand and
bleachers have been remodeled so as to
scat about 8,000 people , and have been fitted
underneath with commodious dressing rooms
The Denver local executive committee of
the League of American Wheelmen has
adopted the following program for the en
tertainment at the six days' national meet
here :
Monday The morning will be devoted to
an Informal reception nt headquarters. In
the afternoon a general day parade of all
the wheelmen Is contemplated. In the
evening a formal reception will be given at
headquarters , where addresses will be fol
lowed by an entertainment.
Tuesday The morning and evening .will
be given up to several "runs , " it being the
Intention to so diversify these runs as to
meet the capacity of every visitor. One
division will be taken by railroad to Palmer
lake , at the summit of the "Divide , " and
will make the run back to Denver on
wheels , a distance of fifty-four miles of
continuous easy descent.
Wednesday A grand league picnic will
be held nt the top of Mount Lookout , sev
enteen miles from Denver.
Thursday morning Trial heats ; after
noon , races.
Friday morning Trial heats ; afternoon ,
races.
Saturday morning Trial heats ; afternoon ,
races.
Following the meet It Is proposed to or
ganize a Brand tour of the wheelmen from
Denver to Colorado Springs and Munltou.
At the banquet nt the Windsor Judge Ills-
sell will be the tonstmaiitcr. and among
others the following toasts will be responded
to : "The L. A. W. , " President Luscomb :
"Boulevards , Highways and Horse Cars , "
J. U. Potter , New York ; "Colorado , " 13. B.
Light ; "Wheels , " Sterling Elliott , Boston ;
"The Executive Committee , " W. P. Hill-
house. After the meet n tour of the Pike's
Peak region will be taken , under the direc
tion of the Colorado Springs Wheel club ,
the Chamber of Commerce and the Sun
flower Carnival club. Under the auspices
of the latter body an elaborate program
has been arranged , covering the four days
Immediately after the Denver meet.
There Is a movement on foot to give the
racing board of the League of American
Wheelmen power to appoint timers the
same as they do ofllclal handlcappers. The
necessity of such a move Is made plain
through the various attempts that are being
made to create new records. The trials
agalnit time that the class B racing men
are making every week demand that an
experlneced man should hold the watch
with competent assistants. In England all
record trials are timed by Pembroke Coleman -
man , the ofllclal timer of the N. C. U. The
L. A. W. Is urged to appoint ofllclal timers
to have charge of various districts , so that
! In event of any discussion arising over the
I accuracy of a new record an Investigation
can be speedily had and a satisfactory set
tlement reached. The racing men them-
Helves favor the appointment of timers , and
It Is likely that the board will give the mat
ter eaily attention.
California will bo represented nt the meet
by three of the fastest riders of the. Pacific
coast Foster , Xelgler and Wells , all of
San Francisco. Xelgler has a record of
030Vi ; for the quarter , standing start , and
2:13 : 2-5 for the mile , standing. Foster has
done the mile In 2:09 : 4-5 , the half In 1:01 :
and the quarter In 0:20 : , all flying starts.
This last Is the fastest quarter ridden so far
this year. All thiee beat Bliss when ho
rode In California In June.

IT IS A TERROR , .

Characteristics of the ICilsslim Thistle flow
to fSnilto It.
The Russian thistle very closely resem
bles the common "tumbleweed , " but Is more
splnous. In fact , It Is a tumbleweed of the
worst kind. When It breaks oft at the root
late In the fall It rolls away In the wind
at a rapid rate , scattering Its seeds upon
every rod of ground over which It travels.
Well grown plants in the Dakotas are said
to reach four and five feet In diameter , and
even more In exceptional casrs. The prickly
branches arc so dense that It Is Impossible
to pass one's hand to the Interior of the
bushy plant.
The technical name of the pest Is Salsola
kail , and It Is briefly described as follows :
Herbaceous , annual , branching from the base ,
usually densely bushy at maturity , leaves
alternate , without stems , long , spiny-pointed
and with narrow margins near the base ,
usually striped with red like the steins ;
flowers minute , at the bases of the leaves ,
without sepals or petals. It blossoms In July
and August and Its seeds mature In Septem
ber and October.
The extermination of the Russian thistle
demands that It bo smitten , hip and thigh ,
by a sharp hoe In the hands of an active
$1.25 a day man. Digging It up seems to
bo the only way to fight It. If It Is hoed or
plowed up before It goes to seed It Is likely
to leave no posterity. To plow It under later
than that Is Idle. It will take hard work
to exterminate the pest. If raked with a
horse rake or cut with a reaper , some seed
will surely bo left to perpetuate the curse.
Burning will not affect a complete eradica
tion. Cultivating corn , potatoes and other
root crops serves to wipe It out If thorough
work Is done.

niiiitncts Among Kngliipcri.
The strange antics of a crazy engineer at
Alton , III. , suggest the fact that Insanity Is
very frequent among railway employee Two
dramatic Illustrations are mentioned by the
Philadelphia Times. There Is living In New
Jersey , not fur from Philadelphia , a man who
for many years was the foremost passenger
engineer between New York and Philadel
phia on the Pennsylvania railroad , He ran
all the specials and best trains , and In ten
years never had atu accident. One night In
the gleam of the headlight ho saw a woman.
Ho had cnlv tliho to sec her hands
raised and to heac her cry , and be
fore ho could p > U his hand upon
the lever ho felttt.Jcrk under the wheels
and know that nil , * vas over. Since that
night he has nevdr been on an engine. For
months he did not ( deep , and later became
practically Insane , but only on the one point
of seeing and hearing the woman his engine
killed. Now hejoes' / about harmlessly and
aimlessly , but ho .Ins , to be kept away from
the railroads , and In his fretful sleep ho
wakes with crlcaanil paroxysms of horror.
The other case Is that of a man who was
conductor of a tritljf fin the Camden & Am-
boy whose train -hftd an accident. He came
out all right himself , but It preyed so upon
his mind that one .night he left his homo ,
and , going to thd 1 > olnt where the accident
occurred , threw himself In front of a passIng -
Ing train , recelvtPKalPjurles from which ho
died.

TEETOTAL LIFE INSURANCE.
The linn : John I * . St. John' * t'niiipnny for
rrnhlhltloiiliits.
Total abstinence has been Incorporated us
an clement In an Important business enter
prise In this city , says the New York Sun.
The American Union Life Insurance com
pany , whose offices ore at 40 Cedar street ,
has Inaugurated a total abstinence depart
ment , and has put at the head of It Hon.
John P. St. John , former prohibitionist can
didate for president of the United States ,
Mr , St. John entered upon his duties on
July 1.
At present the undertaking Is purely ex
perimental. It starts with the supposition
that enough total abstainers will Insure In
the company as such to form a separate
and distinct class of policy holders. Every
man taking out a policy as a tutal abstainer
Is required to pledge himself to abstain
from the use of alcoholic liquors as
beverages , medicinal use not being Included.
Any violation of this plcdce vitiates the pol
icy. Just how the company will keep track
of all Its clients who hold total abstinence
policies the oulcljls cannot say. That Is en
tirely In the hands of Mr. St. John , they say ,
nnd ho will Imve a sulllclent number of men
tinder him to carry on the work and keep
track of total abstinence policy holders In
such cases as Is deemed necessary.
A to the benefits to be- derived from this
system , they are pru'ulc-mntlcal. The enter
prise rests on the supposition that the rate
of mortality will be smaller among total ab
stainers than among other policy holders. If
at the end of ten years this proves to be a
fact the dividends paid to total abstainers
will be larger In proportion as the death rate
among them Itf email. No difference will bo
made In the rates to total abstainers. Mr. C.
S. Whitney of the American Union Life In
surance company explained the matter thus :
"The fact that we formally recognize total ;
abstinence as a business clement will , we
hope , bring to us a large number of prohi
bitionists. Now , It Is believed by Mr. St.
JoTin and , I think , by a larga majority of
prohibitionists that total abstinence Is very
healthful , which Is to say that , other things
being equal , a man who does not drink will
live longer tjian a man who does. With this
principle as a basis wo have organized this
department. If at the expiration of a glv.n
period the mortality In the total abstinence
class Is less than among the other policy
holders , It Is evident that the company makes
more money from the total abstainers. Now
wo ask only a certain amount of profit , and
If the mortality record Is favorable to the
total abstainers , after expenses and profits
have been deducted , what remains over will
bo divided among the members of that class.
That Is the whole system , and you can see
that at present It Is entirely an experiment.
Mr. St. John , however. Is very sanguine of
Its success , and from his figures and statis
tics It would appear that ho Is right. "
AN ANIMATED HAIR STORE.
A Whiskered ami SocklcHi StutcHiimn Abroad
in Kansas.
Kansas has produced the most unique
charactjr as a candidate for olllce to be
found In any state In the union. This
man , Hugh Cameron , one of the most
picturesque figures In Kansas since the days
of Jim Lane , announces his candidacy for
congress In the Second congressional dis
trict , subject to the will of no convsntlon ,
but to the people when they shall go Into
the Australian booth to cast their votes.
He declares that he Is neither a republican ,
democrat nor populist , but that he proposes
to go to the homes of all the voters and
convince them that It will be to their In
terest to send htm to congress.
His plan of campaign , says the Chicago
Herald , will be as novel and peculiar as
have been his habits of life for the past
third of a century. With his old and faith
ful mule , that ha been his friend and com
panion for more than fifteen years , he In
tends to penetrate every neighborhood In the
nine counties In the district and appeal to
the citizens to cast off the party yoke and
vote for their best Interests. Until forced
to do so by the early frosts ho will wear no
shoes , holding to his established custom of
going barefooted during the summer months.
Hugh Cameron Is the most eccentric char
acter that Kansas ever produced. Ills homo
Is three miles northwest of Lawrence , on
the banks of tlu Kaw river , at what Is
known as Cameron Bluff. He Is at once a
scholar , a soldier , a vegetarian , a celibate ,
a whilom statesman and withal a hermit.
Little Is known In Kansas of his early
history , although he has lived In his unique
cabin at Cameron Bluff since the early terri
torial days. Ho lived a quiet , secluded life
on his farm , and took but little part In the
stirring events of the time. He entered the
war as a captain In the Second Kansas vol
unteer cavalry and came out a lieutenant
colonel and brevet brigadier general. Every
winter he makes a pilgrimage to Washing
ton to look In on congress , but with this
exception ho never leaves his home save to
buy supplies. Cameron comes from good
Pennsylvania stock and Is said to have taken
to his hermit life because he was jilted by
a maiden who had promised to wed him.
BROKE UP THE SHOW.
The Man In the Hex Oflleo Wanted n CroBS-
l.yed .Man to fay Ilinililc.
"I once had an Idea , " said the showman
to the Buffalo Express. "It was brand new
and a corker. I went to see a three-ring
circus one day , and while I was there It
struck me If I would put a variety show on
the road with two separate and distinct turns
going on at the same time the people would
be tickled with It , and I would make money.
I figured It out that there are many times
when a man goes to a variety show and
yawns through a turn because he has seen It
before or something of the kind. Now , If
there were two turns going on the man
could look at the other one , you know , and
would come away saying It was a great
show. It would be only occasslonally we
would strike a man who would be bored by
two turns at the same time. The plan
seemed a tip-topper , and I got a partner who
had money , and we started to put It Into
execution. We hired a lei of people and put
on a show that was a pretty good one. We
had eighteen turns and we ran them two at
a time. For Instance , It there was a serio
comic on the stage v > rs would have a trapeze
act from the dome of the theater , and things
went along as If they had been greased. The
partner I had was a man who had never been
In the show business before , and he didn't
know a great deal about It , as a matter of
course. Seeing that he had put up the
money , I 1H him have a few words to say
about the front of the liouse. On the fifth
night out we had a row and the show busted
then and there. Since then I have never
found any one who would go Into the
scheme.
"What was the row about ? " asked the re
porter.
"Oh , my partner was In the box office and
ho tried to make a cross-eyed man pay
double , claiming that he could see both
turns at once , and would get twice his
money's worth. The cross-eyed man wouldn't
have It , and there was a fight. That fight
marked the death of the greatest Idea In
the tdiow business since the tank was In
vented , for my partner pulled out and bought
an Interest In a church furniture concern. "

NEW YORK , AUR. 12.-ll nry Plows
hcntl of the lianltliiB house of Henry t'lcwi
& Co. , writes of the situation In Wnl
street :
"The movements of the market for the
week Just endliiK undoubtedly Indicate ni
Intprovcinent In the Munition. For some
time past It has been lluctuatlni ; alternate ! )
lindi'r the Inllucnco of hope and Tear ; bu
now Its undertone la Kradunlly broadening
and strciiKthenltiK , luul there Is n market
tendency to discount a generally clnrlllei
financial atmosphere. It looks as thoii
we have seen the worst of everything , am
that the pendulum Is at last KOlnj ; to swim ,
the other way. Outside of the all-Import
ant tariff question the corn crop has ngnlt
been the greatest factor In the market foi
the past few days. The bears have bcci
actively engaged In pounding the grangers'
basing their action on the pro pcot of re
duccd dividends on these securities as a
result of the prospective corn shortage
Their efforts to bring out long stock , how
ever , have not been particularly Mlcoes.oful
and they Ilnd U dllllcult to cover their con
tracts without bidding up the market. The
damage Is almost exclusively confined to
three states Iowa , Nebraska and Kansas
and In those states It almost approximates
a calamity , and Is probably nut exaggerated
but In the other states the crop will be a
fair average to a large one , owing to tin
Increased acreage , duo to the low price oi
wheat last year and the comparatively
good price for corn. The ciop In thosL
states will largely offset the shortage
caused by drouth probably more than now
expected. The estimated yield Is at pres
ent only a matter of private estimates
which vary all the way from 1lOO.UOO.tXU to
l.GOO.UUO.MJO bushels' , with the chances , from
all the data received , that the latter will be
about what this year s corn crop will amounl
to. There Is a good and growing demand
for the low priced non-dividend slocks and
the cheap bonds. The feeling Is that a
great many of these securities have boon In
such disfavor for a long time past that
they have been unduly depressed , and that
when an Improvement becomes general se
curities of this class are going to respond
quickly. Gold shipments have practically
ceased to be a factor In the market , as only
small amounts of the precious metal have
been shipped during the week , and the
case In exchange docs not Indicate a re
newal of shipments In the near future.
Washington advices regarding the tailff
continue very conflicting and tend toward
keeping stocks feverish , and while there Is
so much uncertainty among our legislators
the same feeling must naturally exist In
Wall street circles. The feeling that pome
definite decision , one way or the other , will
soon be arrived at Is gaining ground , how
ever , and this feeling Is doing a good deal
toward hastening the return of confidence.
The stock of manufactured goods In thi >
United States Is lower than It has been for
a great many years , and tlu'te will soon
be actual necessity for at least a partial
resumption of business on the part of
manufacturers. A speedy settlement of
the tariff debate will give them a basis on
which to start In , and that is all that Is
needed. The entire stock market has fully
discounted all adverse factors , and will now
commence to consider and be governed by
what Is to come and not what has passed.
The present conditions will be lost sight of
and give way to those that may be ex
pected to prevail six months bonce and
thereafter. I5y that time I do not hesitate
to say that the railroad earnings will have
returned to their normal condition and
general activity In commercial channels will
be restored. The thing to do now , there
fore , Is to discount a general Improvement
In the future. I recommend buying slocks
now for higher prices. The sharp advance
during the last few days In Louisville &
Nashville and Western Union properties ,
which are not directly affected by either
crop or tariff news , furnishes a sample of
what we can expect with a removal of ex
isting unfavorable Influences. "
SNOW , CIIUKOII Jt CO.'S VIKWS.
Host and Worst of Ilud .Situation mill
Wliut They Hold Forth.
Albert Andrlano , local superintendent for
Snow , Church & Co.'a mercantile agency ,
writes :
"The prominent feature of the week Is the
strike at South Omaha. It la unfortunate
that this should come to pass at just this
time. Farmers and cattlemen throughout
the west are shipping more live stock than
ever before , and Chicago and Kansas City
are getting the benefit of It. The rush of
cattle to market Is occasioned by the short
age of the corn crop , and the fact that at
the high price of corn farmers will be un
able to feed them with profit to themselves.
It la very unfortunate that at a time like
this , when every Increase In trade Is de
sirable , a strike should be In vogue at the
stock yards.
"As the dry weather continues prospects
for corn dwindle , and there Is now no doubt
that only a very small crop will be harvested
In this state and parts of Iowa. There Is a
general feeling of depression among the
wholesalers at Omaha and other points in
the state , occasioned by the gloomy pros
pects for this fall and winter. If I may be
allowed to express myself , I would say
that there Is altogether too much of this.
Corn Is admittedly the most Important pro
duct of this region , and our wheat crop
was also short. It ccrlalnly seems hard
that In a year of financial depression such
as the past every possible III should come
to Increase the unfavorable conditions. No
settlement of the tariff up to date ; the
strike In the east barely settled ; with a
new one In full force at South Omaha ; a
failure of the corn crop anil a shortage.
In the wheat crop ; this is the gloomy side
of the picture ; this portends little trade for
the fall and a hard winter. On the other
hand , wholesalers and retailers alike have
curtailed their expenses and learned the
lesson of retrenchment and economy dur
ing the last eighteen months. HPtallcrHhave
pursued a hand-to-mouth policy In buying ,
and wholesalers have not stocked up to
any great extent. Houses that have held
their own up to the present have so ar
ranged their affairs that they can with
stand the pressure of a few months more
without any very serious loss. No doubt
there will be many small failures In the
country. Itctall traders , who have depended
largely on the abundant corn crop to re
cover the ground lest during the last year ,
keenly feel the disappointment of a failure
In crops , and to many of I hem It Is synony
mous with ruination of their own business
prospects. Those retailers , however , who
had legitimate and well established busi
ness , and who have. . In the past conducted
their affairs economically and not lived be
yond their means , will pass through n se
vere winter without any serious cense
quences.
"Wholesalers are not quite In as easy a
condition n the retailers , for the reason
that In business they are compelled to lay
In a certain amount of stock always and
cannot reduce their expenses below a cer
tain figure , but the slocks which have
been purchased by the leading local houses
lire comparatively light. Again , a point for
consideration Is that In staple lines the con
sumer needs a certain amount of stuff. As
stated above , retail incruhnntH have only
from time to time replenished their stock
and have not laid In a store of regular
Koods. as usual. The demands of consum
ers , wlillo they may not be for high class
goods , nevertheless cannot shrink below a
I'crtaln lUure. ICvery man , woman and
child needs certain articles of wear ; they
must be fed and shod. These wants must
be supplied and the retitller mmit meet
All the Clothes ,

Use Pearline , and it's easy to do a few at
a time. Lots of women do this. They
take the napkins , towels , handker-
X T1 chiefs , hosiery , etc. , eacli day as they
are cast aside.
Soak them in Pearline and water ,
boil them a few minutes , rinse out and
there they are , perfectly clean.
No bother , no rubbing. When the
regular wash-day comes , there isn't much

the wholesaler , from Ihoholcnnler to the
tuunufncturcr. nnd the last named will not

him. This , of course , applies to only cri--
tnln lines of goods. Dealers In luxuries *
jnny expect a very dull fnron , but dealers
In serviceable nnd utiiplo goods will cer
tainly do a fair amount of Dus'lneKs. An
other feature onc.Mirnulnif to the western
Jobber Is I bat with the- accession Of thn
drouth retailers throughout this state and
parts of Iowa countermanded every order
which they hud made en eastern houses ;
there dealers will dipond on Omaha ami
other local centers tn supply their wants
during the winter. While I admit that the
prospect'at present looks rather gloomy
there Is no excuse for giving up a ship tint
is entlicly seaworthy. There In now every
prospect that the tariff conference will
come to an agreement. The passage or de-
fonl of this monsure will mean renewed
activity In the Industrial centers of the cast.
Prosperity In the east will result In ad
vantage tn the west. While , therefore , the
failure of the corn crcp In this state ami
parts of Iowa Is a great misfortune. It la
nevertheless open to exaggeration , This la
a great country , with untold resources , and
n serious loss to ono section does not mean
a total loss to the whole , while tin- pros
perity of the greater part of the land mean *
prosperity to the whole.
"I think 1 have cited above the darkest
and lightest sides of the situation. I have
often been accused of being optimistic to a
degree. It Is not my province to exaggerate
unfavorable conditions , but rather my duty ,
as I hold It. to dwell upon the favorable )
nrpcct of affairs , not forgetting , however ,
to give both sides of the qunUlon. The
tendency of take n gloomy view of affairs *
Is too well developed nt this time to nceil
encouragement ; It Is the bright side that
should be presented , nnd presented In lt
b.-st possible Unlit. It Is not despair , but
unfaltering confidence and agnrcsslve cour
age that will win the battle now. "

MANCHESTER , Aug. 12.-The position of
the market during the past week was un
changed , which means that matters are
gradually approaching the point where
over-production and record-breaking low
low prices must Induce drastic remedies.
Large exports are apparently unable to
absorb the output , therefore there are al
ways needy sellers who are ready to accept
the best offers going. The Indications are
the Indian markets are bcomlng glutted.
Still offers at low limits were fairly numer
ous , especially In Calcutta. Further east
little was doing. The minor markets , like
South America and the Levant , were rather
more active. Yarns continued to sell slowly ,
needed by weavers generally at a loss.
Neither buyers nor sellers were anxious to
do forward business. The spinning margin
was rendered worpe by the stlfter prices of
cotton. The ustoppage of machinery Is
considered an Insulllclcnt remedy , but at
tempts at concerted action on a large scale
are still fruitless.

LIGHTNING STOBMS.
DiingeroiiH Klcctrlc UlsplayH on the Summit
nf Mount Illliert.
Assistant Superintendent P. A. Wolkcr of
the United States coast and geodetic survey ,
now stationed on the summit of Mount El-
bert. In a letter to his superior , describing
the electric storms on the mountains , saya
In all his experience ho has never seen any
thing to compare with the terrific lightning.
"Every day since we have been on the
summit. " he says , "we have had heavy hall
or snow storms , accompanied by wind and
the most terrific lightning and thunder
storms that can be Imagined. All of the
lightning of the heavens seems to concen
trate about Mount Elbert. At times the
mountain Is charged with the electricity , nu
merous suspended electric lights can bo
seen , and almost everybody receives clectrla
shocks. Considerable damage hns been dona
liy the lightning. Tlio observatory and new
theodolite have twice been struck and also
the azimuth murk. Lightning struck tlia
peak four times , The sunshade at the end
3f the telescope was pierced twice and tlio
molten metal spattered over the objective ;
Lho y's and pivots were badly burned , also
the foot screws , and about one-quarter of the
object glass was shattered. The theodolite
lilcr was so shattered by the lightning that
it was nrcessary to rebuild It. The vertical
circle pier was also shattered , but the In
strument was not much damaged. Our camp
Is wl'liln 200 yards of the observatory and In
rather an uncomfortable position during tlio
storms. "
